Hey, sorry I haven't Up Dated in a while but my PC has broken :'( so I waited until my lovely twinnie was gone and lent her PC.
If you ever read this Stephanie Kay, thanks and I love you. :D
So, thanks for all the beautiful reviews, and thanks for telling me what you want so here it is.
Mel's POV:
So I got my new roommate and she is great! Well, a little strange around the edges but, who am I to talk?
Conner, my amazingly beautiful perfect fit tanned boyfriend, had just leafed from helping my study for my History test tomorrow. He came around once Liz left.
She went running, which I think she does a lot. Like I said, a little strange. But you have to be to be my friend. She also gets lost in thought, like, all the time. I don't even think that she has noticed that all the boys at the school can't stop staring at her.
I look at the clock at see that it's 10 to nine. I hope I reminded her that curfew is 9. I grad my cell and call Conner.
"Hey baby, is everything alright?" He asks with a little concern in is voice. How sweet!
"Yeah everything is good; it's just…well…"
"Is everything alright?" He says in a panic tone.
"Yeah, it's just Liz isn't back, and she left hours ago, and it's almost curfew!" I say getting louder by the end of the phone call.
"I'm sure everything is fine." He says in a reassuring voice. Then like the perfect person that he is, he starts to talk about the plans for tomorrow night. He distracted me! And it worked! I don't know which is more shocking.
I look at the clock and see that it's 10 past and she still hasn't come back. "Don't worry baby, I'm sure she just got lost." He says once I'm quite. He always seems to know what I'm thinking.
"I hope so…. She just walked in know," I say as I see her enter. Thank god! For a second there I was getting a little worried.
"See I told you not to worry, I love you babe. Night," he says in a loving voice. How can he be fit and loving? God created this man with both hands!
"OK, love you too, bye" I say, and I see Liz hanging up her coat. When she comes back, I look at her and she looks a little guilty and… like she has been… crying?
"So …" she says
"So…." I say. Then I decide to ask her something that will be bothering me all night if I don't know. "You know curfew is 9?"
She nodded, "Lost track of time." I was about to ask her what she had been doing when she says, "running. I lost track of time running." I nod, then look at her carefully, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, perfect, a little tired but still good." She smiles at me, to help her case.
"OK then…." I trail of shaking my head. I don't want to puss her into telling me what's bothering me. I pick up my book as she walks into the bathroom.
I was so into the book that I didn't even notice she came out until she said goodnight. I replayed with a 'sweet dreams' and continued to read my book.
About 2 and a bit hours later I put my book down and got ready for bed. Before I turned the lights out I looked over to see Liz asleep mumbling something about her mum and dad. That's nice, to dream of your parents. I don't really see mine. And when I do it's like we don't even know each other.
I hit the pillow thinking about the parents I don't have.
It feels like I've just gone to sleep when I'm woken up my screaming.
I quickly turn on my bedside light to see that the hell is going on, when I see nobody. I look at Liz and she is frantically moving in her bed. "Patrick! RUN!" She says. Then her breathing picks up and she screams again. Oh God! What am I supposed to do?
I get out of bed and genially shack her. I must have worry all over my face because she wakes up and takes one look at me; and is on full alert!
"What's wrong?" She asks in a shaky voice. She was the one screaming like she was about to die and she's worried about me?
"Are you ok? You were screaming." I say, hoping that she is alright.
"Oh…" she says a little stunned. "Sorry, I thought the nightmares had stopped." She says a little sheepish.
"Are you ok? Do you want some water or something?" I say still sitting on her bed.
"No thanks." She rubs her face and then looks at the clock. It's just past half 5. We don't need to be up for another hour.
"Liz, who's Patrick?" I ask, hoping that I haven't crossed a line.
LPOV:
God, I can't believe I was screaming! How embarrassing. Mel is looking at me with concern and worry all over her face. Then she asks me something that I didn't think she would, "Liz," she starts carefully; like you might a small child that you don't want to startle. "Who's Patrick?"
I must have screamed his name. That's no shock to me. I think carefully about what to tell her.
I mean she does deserve the truth. After all, I didn't just wake her up screaming, and she I the closest that I have had to a friend in a long time. Sure people hang with me, and I have never had trouble having a boyfriend, but they were only ever there when we would run into each other. And when I say boyfriend I mean someone that I kiss at a party, and see them for a week before telling them I'll see them later and don't see them for a bit.
I mean my life is strange; I didn't need a boy to make it worse. And then there was Patrick. My best and really only friend before Mel and the others came along.
So I should tell her. Well… tell her a little.
My eyes start to full a little and I notice that I must have been crying in my dream because I have wet marks on my face. I rub my face and look her in the eyes. "Patrick…" I say his name just in a whisper. That's the first time in a long time that I have said his name out loud. And it pulls on the strings on my heart and starts the open a door I'm not ready to be opened.
Quickly I put my guardian mask on, and close down all emotions because I can't do it.
"I'm sorry but I can't talk about it right at the moment." She nods in understanding. "But I will tell you he was my best friend ever. He was like a brother to me and will always hold a special place in my heart." I say with a small smile on my face. Because even if she doesn't know him, at least she has heard of him. And I think that everyone should have got to have met him, because he was a very inspiring person. He always looked at everyone as if they were equals.
"Was?" Mel questioned, looking like she wanted to cry a little for me.
"He died," I explain emotionlessly. Because if I did show my emotions at this point, they would be dripping with guilt and sadness. "…because of me." She looked like she was about to tell me that it couldn't possibly be fault when I say, "If you don't mind, I really don't want to talk about it anymore." She looks uneasy for a few short seconds, then nods, and starts to get of my bed.
"Ok, but can I ask you one quick question? You don't have to answer." She promises at the end. I look at her wondering what it possible could be and nod. "Is that why you came here?"
"Part of the reason," I say with a little smile.
"I know it sucks why you are here, but I'm glad you came." She says with a little smile and gives me a hug. It took me a second to replay, but I did. I never really get hugs. I use to get them all the time from Patrick, and my mum and dad and Lissa and even Christen give me them but they are family. And Patrick was …well…Patrick.
"So what lessons do you have?" I ask hoping to change the topic.
"I have History first, big test," she groans. I laugh a little at this. "What about you?" She asks in her own bed again looking me lying on her side. I do the same. At first when I woke up, I thought that I might go for a jog, but, maybe some talking would be better. My body seems to think so.
"Same as yesterday, but I have maths last." I say grimacing.
"Nothing personal, but you have the strangest time table in the world. What's up with that?"
I just shrug my shoulders. "I'm just strange like that," I laugh and so does she. We spend the next hour just talking about tonight and what we are going to do this weekend. It felt so great to talk to someone and it to be… well… normal.
Mel didn't talk to me like I was a freak, or any different from her. It was, refreshing to say the least.
After we were both ready we headed to the hall to get breakfast.
I didn't realise how hungry I was until I could smell the doughnuts. My belly rumbled making both me and Mel enter the hall laughing.
There were only a few over people in the cafeteria already so we didn't have to queue. Thank god, because with my hunger at the moment I would have most likely punched everyone just so I could eat. What can I say, I love food.
I piled my plate up, and Mel just looked at me, "What?" I said with a innocent smile. "I girls got to eat."
"There is no way you will be able to eat all that!" She says shaking her head with a smile on her face.
"Just watch," I say with a laugh. As we sit down, more people start to come and soon Josh and Conner come to sit down with us.
"Hey," Josh says to both me and Mel, giving us a smile that could totally make my knees give way.
Conner gives me a nod of acknowledgement, before kissing Mel on the cheek, trying to get some of her food. She smacks his hand, and says, "I love you and all, but get your own dam food!"
"Good idea," he says kissing her passionately then walking with Josh to get some food.
Suddenly I have a thought that makes me laugh out loud a little.
"What?" She asks me a little confessed.
"It's nothing really… it's just you and Conner remind me of my Aunt Lissa and Uncle Christen."
"Is that a good thing or…." I interrupt her before she can even finish 'or'.
"Definitely a good thing," then I told her a little bit about them. The time when I was younger and they were babysitting me. Lissa had to go and work for a bit, witched left me with Christian. And well, that is never a good thing. When she got back, she found the house a complete mess, with christen trying to put out this fire. OMG, I almost died from laughing that day. Lissa just sent him to another room while she cleaned up the mess. It was so funny. The Lissa got me and my mum to help her get him back.
By the time I finished telling the story, we were both laughing hard, and the boys were walking back.
"What did we miss?" Josh asked sitting down and taking a bit of his toast.
"Nothing," Mel and I said at the same time which made us both laugh a bit more.
Once we calmed down a bit Mel started to tell the boys about tonight. We were going to meet in there room to play truth and dare. This should be fun.
Then we looked at the time and started to head to lessons, me and Josh going out the doors together. It was just then I realised that Jess wasn't with us.
"Where's Jess?" I asked
"Her old friend just started here, so she is just showing him around." He shrugged. "Hey, after this can I walk you to business?" He asked. It shouldn't have but it made me smile and feel… well, just feel.
I nod and we enter German. Mr Sawyer is our teacher again. He looks at me and smiles and I smile back. Most of the day flow by in a daze. I started to think how this school was changing me. I was starting to really like it here, and already a great friend. Mel, was someone a could trust, and she was the closest friend that I have really had- girl wise.
When gym came around I entered and went straight to the changing room. When I came out, I saw Mr Sawyer again.
"Twice in one day, starting to think that you're stalking me," I joke as I join him in warming up. He does laugh but I can see a small smile plays on his lips. We start sparing and he is really good. Not as good as my mum of course, just different. He is really good at his kicks and shows me some new manures. He said that I am catching on really quickly. We continue on for about an hour.
Then we practise staking for a bit then take break.
"Not that I'm complaining or judging, but why are you here?" He says with a complete look of curiosity in his eyes. I diced it would be fun to uses my sarcasm.
"Well, on my timetable it told me to come to the gym, so I thought I might just… " I cut my sentence of when I give me a look that I thought only Patrick could do. A look that says, 'stop playing around and answer the dam question!' I sigh and look at the floor. We were both sitting with are back against it, so I just moved it a little so he couldn't see my face at all.
When I was about to say something he says, "Last I heard, you had just made 9 kills. This is more than most."He say impressed.
"Rage. That's why I killed them. They killed my friend that trying to save me after they had kidnapped, me for some god knows reason." I said, then realised I was letting some of my emotions still into my voice. I took a deep breath and composed myself. "I didn't feel like sticking around, and I still have a lot of choices to make about who and what I want to be. I needed to clear me head and think for a bit. So I talked to my mum and dad, and they said if I wanted I could come here." I looked at him. "That's why I'm here."
I looked at me, deep into my eyes, it almost made me shiver. "Sorry about your friend." He says with sympathy.
"Thanks," I say with a small smile. We didn't a little bit more training before calling it a day. I got back into normal clothes before heading to lunch.
I lot has changed since my mum was in high school. Strigos are now been hunted out, by guardians and Miors at their side.
If we continued to do this are world would be so much better off. If only that stupid consul would frigging lighten up!
More couples are getting together. That's totally because of my mum and dad. They ROCK!
But just because that is open doesn't mean humans can come into the equation. I could never be with Josh for example.
Josh that strange feeling came back into my belly when thinking of him. I couldn't help but smile.
"A penny for your thought," Josh's voice broke me from my thoughts as he sat down next to me.
"Hu?" I look at him lost. He lets out a chuckle then says, "I was just wondering what your thinking so hard about."
"Not much. How was your lesson?" I ask.
"Alright, yours?" He asks moving his head so that he is looking into my eyes.
God his eyes are perfect. I swallow and look away, "Alright too" I mumble.
I look at him again then suddenly he reaches towards me with one hand and moves a piece of hair out the way. As soon as his hand touches my skin, it's like electric is shooting through my body. I'm shocked.
He doesn't move his hand away, and our eyes are locked.
Suddenly, Mel and Conner come sitting down talking and I quickly move away, coldness replacing where his hand just was. I swear I heard him mumble something like, 'stupid timing'. All in your head I say to myself.
I stand up, "I'm going to get some food," I say then start walking towards to food. I look back and see them all engaged in a conversation. I grad a plate of food and turn to see someone standing in my way.
"A pretty girl like you shouldn't have to carry her own food." God, I really can't be bothered with this at the moment.
"I think I've got it thanks," I say trying to walk past him.
"Why don't you come and sit next to me, I'm sure you'll like it much better." He says giving me a smile. I guess he isn't use to hearing no. Oh well.
"I'm fine thanks." Giving him a small smile, "excuse me but my friends are waiting." I say looking at my table, to see them all looking at me.
"Ok, but just think about it for next time," he says walking away. God did he understand personal space!
I walk back to the table and sit down, trying to pretend that they weren't all looking at me.
Finally I had enough and looked up. "Ok, what?" I say not hiding how pissed I was.
"What was Callum saying to you?" Mel asks. Josh look at me like I couldn't answer the question quick enough.
"He just wanted me to sit with him," I shrug. Her eyes widen, "I said no." I said in my defence. Josh and Conner got food and Mel already had hers. When they got back we made plans to meet up at 5.
This was going to be an interesting evening.
I hope you like it. Review and tell me what you think, and what you want to happen. I'm going to get rid of a spider the size of king kong. Love to my sis please.
